Incredible tacos and salsa! I first had El Cabron at several food festivals, and we followed the quesabirria to their new restaurant. It did not disappoint; they are the Real Thing! As a native Texan, our first words were that it “tastes like home”. Tacos are smaller - they are street tacos, which are on smaller corn tortillas - but they were generous with the meat and, though we ordered a lot of food, I could only eat two with bites of the others to taste them. We had the quesabirria, pollo, and carne asada, as well as chips and salsa and a Mexican Coke, and everything was delicious. Cannot recommend enough - we will be back, and will recommend to all of our friends. Excited to have access to these tacos more often!

We tried this place during the Caerphilly cheese festival and had to come support the restaurant opening! As someone who has lived in Arizona (from Ohio) and had the most authentic Mexican food you can have, this place is very VERY solid! My husband and I really enjoyed the Quesa Birria and Chicken (Pollo) tacos. Nachos with guac was so delicious as well. All in all very happy with the food again! Small tacos but so much meat, we highly recommend~ The only suggestion I can make is maybe add a coke zero or diet soda for diabetics like myself. (They do offer free water though, so don't let it deter you from trying) We will be back for sure~ I wish I took more photos but I was too busy stuffing my face! Haha 10/10 You gotta try it!

Tacos were really nice. Can you guys open on Sundays as I think business would boom on Sundays and I've wanted tacos on a Sunday for the last 3 weekends but you're closed.

The tacos are lovely, but you only get 2 very small tacos for £11. I was really expecting something more substantial. It's ok for lunch or a snack but it's not a main meal.

Hey, thankyou for your feedback. For £11 we assume you had our Carne Asada tacos? Just to give you an understanding of the costs...we use only prime British flank steak that we buy fresh to ensure the best possible flavour and experience for our customers. These tacos also come with a salsa Verde that we make ourselves in store (again daily and fresh) from imported tomatillos which are as expensiveas they sound!! Yes we could use cheaper cuts of meat or make salsa from cheaper ingredients but we aren't here to cut corners. We want to celebrate Mexican flavours and share this experience with our customers.

Alot of money for very small portions,vegetarian so no expensive meat yet still expensive, hungry still after, even my child was. The chips were like 49p aldi ones with 2 small.spoons of sauce on definitely not worth £10 nothing else. Won't visit again sorry maybe just a bad night. Definitely wouldn't recommend as a main meal,maybe a snack.edit they were on board £10 and definitely charged that

Hey Annon, thankyou for stopping by. Sorry to hear your feedback. Please be assured we absolutely do not and would never ever use aldi tortilla chips. We hand cut ours from fresh corn tortillas and fry them fresh to order. Our salsa roja is also made fresh daily using only authentic mexican ingredients including imported Chipotles and various chillies. Our tortilla chips and salsa are sold for £6 so not sure where the £10 comes from. We do appreciate all feedback 👍
